Sending notifications from Pharo to your Mobile via Pushover.net

Hi,

Just a little snippet I wanted to share. Pushover (https://pushover.net) is a general service that delivers notifications to iOS, Android and desktop devices via an API (and an email gateway as well). It is really easy to get started with.

This is how you do it from Pharo:

ZnClient new
systemPolicy;
url: 'https://api.pushover.net/1/messages.json';
accept: ZnMimeType applicationJson;
contentReader: [ :entity | NeoJSONObject fromString: entity contents ];
contentWriter: [ :object | ZnEntity json: object asString ];
contents: (NeoJSONObject new
token: 'ax4o55o6g5imb1a6st3m9x34hqu44z';
user: 'uv2fovx3f9sp3rgssrupvjgvdo8quw';
title: 'Test 3';
message: ('This is a test @ {1} by {2}.' format: {

DateAndTime now. SystemVersion current }));
post.

It will look like this on your mobile device (just seconds later):

Nothing special, but pretty handy.

What is the difference between Pushover and other similar services? Do you need a Pushover client in the phone to handle such notifications?

Nonetheless, the conciseness of Pharo with Zinc never ceases to amaze me.

Re: Sending notifications from Pharo to your Mobile via Pushover.net

Based on the icon and my mobile dev experience ...

Either you need the Pushover app (hence the 'P' icon) to get a push notification or you can make your mobile app the recipient of the push notification (like UrbanAirship does) by including a library in your mobile app.

For SMS I generally use Twilio or Plivo - either is a perfectly decent SMS service.

Twilio and Plivo have similar REST apis and would have similar looking calls.

Yes, you need to install their client, which then acts as a generic receiver of notifications, but you can customise them a bit. Personal license is $5 for life. It is too new for me to have a real opinion about it, but it looks cool & simple.

Yeah, that is why I keep posting snippets like that.

Re: Sending notifications from Pharo to your Mobile via Pushover.net

If you need more than just a simple push notification you can try Discord
to send text, pictures, ... into own discord server and channels. Or work with Bots.

Code is here https://github.com/JurajKubelka/DiscordSt
and techtalk video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y1EzOnfHUe0

Maybe some of you already have the Discord app on the mobile anyway (for Pharo)

I tried running this after loading NeoJSON and I got a DNU on 'ZnEntity json:' in a new Pharo 6.1 64 bit on Mac OS. What else needs to be loaded?

You need a more recent version of Zn. The convenience method in question was add in the summer
